Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Chapter 1192 The child let the cat out of the bag

After the incident happened yesterday, Zhang Xiaoman, Zhang Mou and others have been on the police side.

Now Zhang Xiaoman and others, as well as Zhang Baohai are currently being questioned, so the child will be temporarily looked after by a female police officer.

The other party looked anxious at the moment, and his speech was a little halting.

"Lu... Director Lu... Captain Wang, there's... there's something going on!"

"That child...that child said...he saw his grandfather beating his grandmother!"

what?
Lu Chuan and Wang Zhaokai suddenly stood up.

Wang Zhaokai asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

The policewoman paused and quickly reported: "When the child came to the police station yesterday afternoon, I was watching him the whole time, but he went back to live with his mother in the guesthouse at night."

"This morning, the child's grandfather was in charge of the questioning while his parents were being questioned. Then, when his grandfather was also being questioned, I continued to take care of the child. I brought our children's toys to the child, and he had a lot of fun playing with me. He also kept telling me about his family's affairs."

"Then he told me that he had a secret to tell me, and told me that I couldn't tell anyone. Grandpa said that no one could tell this, but he liked me more, so he told me this."

"What did the child say?"

Lu Chuan asked.

"He said... the child told me that he saw his grandfather beating his grandmother. The two of them wrestled fiercely, and then his grandfather pushed his grandmother to the ground and beat her until she couldn't move. Then his grandfather took him home, and he never saw his grandmother again!"

My grass?

Lu Chuan couldn't help but swear.

Originally, Zhang Baohai was actually one of the important suspects, but because he had always answered questions without any loopholes and there was no evidence pointing to him having committed murder, he was only being questioned but no other measures had been taken.

Also, judging from the current investigation, everyone's impression of Zhang Mouhai is that he is a rather dull teacher. He is always bullied when he goes out to work and does not earn much money. When he is in his hometown in the countryside, he is the type who can't say a word for a long time.

So when asking the neighbors of Chen Yaju's rental house about the couple's situation yesterday, none of them suspected that Zhang Baohai might have killed his wife because it was impossible for this man to be so honest.

But what if what the child said is true?

"go!"

Lu Chuan realized the seriousness of the problem.

Zhang Xiaoman's child has just started elementary school, in the second grade. He is not very old, about seven or eight years old. Children of this age generally will not lie, and they will not say things that did not happen. Even if what they say is incomplete, it should be certain that something happened.

But Lu Chuan's departure did not mean that he was going to interrogate the child. The child was still a child and not yet an adult. Some things could not be resolved through legal procedures. This was also why the policewoman did not ask the child again about the specific circumstances of his grandfather beating his grandmother, but immediately came to Lu Chuan to report.

Questioning of minors is subject to certain special procedures, for example, members of the Next Generation Committee must be present during the questioning.

There must be supervision and full-time surveillance video, and there cannot be any verbal guidance. These are very strict requirements. Lu Chuan left to go through these procedures.

Lu Chuan is the deputy director of the High-tech Zone Branch, so coordination is of course easier. In addition, these cases involve a homicide, so the relevant parties are also very cooperative.

It took less than the whole morning to complete the relevant procedures, and members of the relevant committee also sent people to the Criminal Police Brigade.

The legal effect of confessions in both civil and criminal cases is actually very different.

There is a type of confession called an isolated confession, which means that among the criminal facts described in the confession, there is no traceable basis or chain of evidence to prove the authenticity of the confession. This type of confession has no legal effect.

For example, if a person goes to the police station to report that he has killed someone, but there is no target of murder, no name, no time, no place, no entity, etc., and there is no evidence that anyone was killed, then this confession can be regarded as an isolated confession and cannot be used as legal evidence.

Although Zhang Xiaoman's child is not very old, his confession can be used as evidence under other supporting conditions. Of course, when Zhang Xiaoman's child is interrogated, it cannot be used as evidence alone. There must be other supporting evidence.

In addition, due to the particularity of this case, the presence of relevant third-party organizations is necessary. For example, Lu Chuan has now invited my concern and members of the Next Generation Committee.

This is a preventive measure to prevent the police from using inappropriate means during the questioning process, which may cause psychological trauma to minors.

In addition, because Zhang Xiaoman's child is relatively young, his confession may be influenced or controlled by his parents, and this possibility is inevitable. Therefore, during the course of the college, he must know what he can believe and what he cannot believe.

Regarding the entry of minors, the law has relatively clear provisions: minors under the age of 16 need to be accompanied by a guardian when they are absent from work, but those over the age of 26 do not need to be accompanied by a guardian.

During the interrogation process, the female police officer who was accompanying the child was still asked to interrogate the child through chatting.

But unlike the time when the child told him the secret just now, this time, the female police officer mainly followed some core issues listed by Lu Chuan and Wang Zhaokai, and had a more in-depth communication with the child about the secret in his heart.

After all, the child is still young, only seven or eight years old.

Although his grandfather asked the child not to say anything after the incident, such a young child could not keep things to himself and things happened quickly. The whole story of the case was restored piecemeal by the child's words.

According to the child, they left Haizhou to return to their hometown. That day, grandpa and grandma suddenly started fighting. Grandpa knocked grandma to the ground and beat her hard. He threw himself on grandma and asked grandpa to stop hitting her, but grandpa didn't listen.

Later, the grandmother lay on the ground and didn't move. The child's grandfather, Zhang Baohai, packed up his things, took the child, and prepared to leave the rental house. Before leaving the rental house, the child's grandfather asked the child to lock the door, and then let the child climb out of the only window of the rental house.

After that, the two left the rental house and returned to their hometown, and the child never saw his grandmother again.

And when video chatting with his mother in his rural hometown, grandpa told the children not to mention anything about grandma, anything at all.
